1991 Cadillac Brougham d'Elegance
If the Cimarron was the saddest Cadillac, perhaps this is the most embarrassing Cadillac. Take an aged platform slap some ugly composite headlights on it, and call it new.

1975 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon
I always thought the grille on the '75 model year was a little more elegant -- the verticals thinner and more closely spaced, so that they blend into each other from a distance.

1978 Buick Riviera
What a difference only 3 years make, going from this RWD sort-of-full-sized car to a smaller FWD model.
One might mistake this for a more ordinary Buick until you notice the way the grille curves at the bottom, communicating luxury and uniqueness. Then you notice the curve of the belt-line just behind the door and over the wheel arch, sloping to the rear end. Love those "retro" wheels (which are probably stock) and the oversized rear tires.
We have seen that blue building in the background more than once.

1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
In the same spot at the same time as another GM product from a while ago. This was the second time I've seen this car, and it's owner -- a nice guy.
Love the formal roofline, the way the vinyl in the roof traps dirt & moss into patterns, and gradually peels from the metal, the very long rear overhang. And how there needs to be a thin chrome strip surrounding everything. The door that covers the fuel cap is behind the licence plate. I thought that sort of detail disappeared in the '70s for safety reasons.

1974 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
Nice work done on this car to make it look so great. Sure, a little missing trim, but in excellent shape for an ancient but formerly very common car. There doesn't seem to be a dent in it.
This is not my favourite year for the Monte Carlo -- I think the first generation was the best (especially with fender skirts).
Still, it has those (totally useless but) dramatically sculpted fenders, that steeply raked windshield and formal roofline. The wheels are not original, but they have the correct feel. The ridges on either side of the hood leading to the turn signal enclosures, embracing the enormous looking headlights. The designers did an excellent job working within the limits of the then new laws about 5 mph bumpers etc. Only the taillights and trunk shutline between them let me down.
